This award season, for the first time in three years, no Israeli movie is nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Film category. That doesn’t mean that the Jewish state won’t be represented in Hollywood’s biggest night: Strangers No More, a documentary about a school in southern Tel Aviv attended by children from 48 different countries is nominated for Best Documentary Short Subject.

Directed by New York-based filmmakers Karen Goodman and Kirk Simon, the 40-minute-long film follows life at the Bialik-Rogozin School, many of whose students are the children of undocumented foreign workers, African refugees, and other outsiders living on the outskirts of Israeli society.
